I expect most here have no exposure, but here is the link to an MSNBC story on this:
.Hack IndeedThe short version: Glad to see security is job 1 over at Microsoft. Here is their reassuring comment to America:

Glad to know that "It can't happen here" God, I miss Frank Zappa. Anyway, never mind the mumblings of an old guy. Onward.
Here is a quote from the article, which suggests an appalling level of cluelessness about how this will be seen in South Korea:
But their target — passwords to game accounts — lessened the significance of the break-in since the hacker software appeared not to collect any network or banking passwords.
If the hackers are ever publically identified, I predict 24 hour protection will be required to get them to trial alive.
